Solution 1

Don't.
SQL is not good with string handling - this is a presentation function and is both better done in the presentation software, and a lot easier to do in the presentation language.
Do it in your C# or VB code!

Solution 3

Please, have a look here: MySQL - Capitalize first letter of each word, in existing table[^]. The author of an answer (Vinicius Pinto) suggests in His solution to write custom function.
Try!
